URBAN WILDLIFE WEEK & P-22 DAY

UWW: October 12 – 19, 2024 | P-22 Day: October 19, 2024
Los Angeles, CA

For an entire week, thousands of community members across the LA region come together to celebrate the majestic urban wildlife and remarkable ecosystems that thrive right in the heart of our bustling metropolis. Always free and open to the public, a variety of exciting events and educational activities offer inspiring opportunities to connect with the natural wonders that surround us every day. 

Urban Wildlife Week culminates with the annual P-22 Day Festival, a celebration of the famous Hollywood cougar who catalyzed the #SaveLACougars movement. Join us in celebration of all that we’ve accomplished to #SaveLACougars and all that we can do to build bridges to a thriving future for both our human and wild neighbors!
